Bayern target Rode and Jung - report

Bayern Munich are keen on Eintracht Frankfurt pair Sebastian Rode and Sebastian Jung and have still not given up on bringing Mainz centre-back Jan Kirchhoff to the club before the summer, kicker reports.

Matthias Sammer has signalled that Bayern are focused on signing young players

Bayern Munich have vowed to change their transfer policy as they look for young and talented players on the German market, with general manager Matthias Sammer saying the “Kirchhoff signing sent out a signal”.

Bayern’s interest in highly-rated Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder Sebastian Rode, 22, was made public last week, although Frankfurt general manager Bruno Hubner has claimed he is “not for sale”. Nonetheless, kicker reported on Monday that Bayern are also keen on signing 22-year-old right-back Sebastian Jung from the club.

Jung, like Rode, is under contract until 2014 at Frankfurt but is reported to have a €2.5 million release clause in his contract. Schalke have also been credited with an interest in the defender.

The paper also reports Bayern have not given up on VfL Bochum youngster Leon Goretzka, 17. The €3 million rated box-to-box player has been linked with a move away from the 2. Bundesliga club for a while now, with Borussia Dortmund and Schalke, as well as clubs from Spain and England, credited with an interest.
